NAME<\/p>\n

chown – change file owner and group<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS<\/p>\n

chown [OPTION]… [OWNER][:[GROUP]] FILE…
\nchown [OPTION]… –reference=RFILE FILE…<\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION<\/p>\n

This manual page documents the GNU version of chown.\u00a0 chown changes
\nthe user and\/or group ownership of each given file.\u00a0 If only an owner
\n(a user name or numeric user ID) is given, that user is made the
\nowner of each given file, and the files’ group is not changed.\u00a0 If
\nthe owner is followed by a colon and a group name (or numeric group
\nID), with no spaces between them, the group ownership of the files is
\nchanged as well.\u00a0 If a colon but no group name follows the user name,
\nthat user is made the owner of the files and the group of the files
\nis changed to that user’s login group.\u00a0 If the colon and group are
\ngiven, but the owner is omitted, only the group of the files is
\nchanged; in this case, chown performs the same function as chgrp.\u00a0 If
\nonly a colon is given, or if the entire operand is empty, neither the
\nowner nor the group is changed.<\/p>\n

OPTIONS<\/p>\n

Change the owner and\/or group of each FILE to OWNER and\/or GROUP.
\nWith –reference, change the owner and group of each FILE to those of
\nRFILE.<\/p>\n

-c, –changes
\nlike verbose but report only when a change is made<\/p>\n

-f, –silent, –quiet
\nsuppress most error messages<\/p>\n

-v, –verbose
\noutput a diagnostic for every file processed<\/p>\n

–dereference
\naffect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the
\ndefault), rather than the symbolic link itself<\/p>\n

-h, –no-dereference
\naffect symbolic links instead of any referenced file (useful
\nonly on systems that can change the ownership of a symlink)<\/p>\n

–from=CURRENT_OWNER:CURRENT_GROUP
\nchange the owner and\/or group of each file only if its current
\nowner and\/or group match those specified here.\u00a0 Either may be
\nomitted, in which case a match is not required for the omitted
\nattribute<\/p>\n

–no-preserve-root
\ndo not treat ‘\/’ specially (the default)<\/p>\n

–preserve-root
\nfail to operate recursively on ‘\/’<\/p>\n

–reference=RFILE
\nuse RFILE’s owner and group rather than specifying OWNER:GROUP
\nvalues<\/p>\n

-R, –recursive
\noperate on files and directories recursively<\/p>\n

The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R
\noption is also specified.\u00a0 If more than one is specified, only the
\nfinal one takes effect.<\/p>\n

-H\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory,
\ntraverse it<\/p>\n

-L\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered<\/p>\n

-P\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 do not traverse any symbolic links (default)<\/p>\n

–help display this help and exit<\/p>\n

–version
\noutput version information and exit<\/p>\n

Owner is unchanged if missing.\u00a0 Group is unchanged if missing, but
\nchanged to login group if implied by a ‘:’ following a symbolic
\nOWNER.\u00a0 OWNER and GROUP may be numeric as well as symbolic.<\/p>\n

EXAMPLES<\/p>\n

chown root \/u
\nChange the owner of \/u to “root”.<\/p>\n

chown root:staff \/u
\nLikewise, but also change its group to “staff”.<\/p>\n

chown -hR root \/u
\nChange the owner of \/u and subfiles to “root”.<\/p>\n
